There arc ninety trains leaving Chicago daily, of which C6 are freight and 34 passenger trains. The total number of cars to these trains are 1,433 freicht and 135 passenger cars. Allow- inrr ten tons to be a load for a freight tar, and thirty passengers to a coach, there are moved daily by railroad to and from that city 9,780 passengers and 2S,-640 tons of freight! The business on nearly every road is constantly increasing, end the engine and tar shops are constantly adding rolling-stock to keep" paoe wiih this increase of business. The Illinois Central, for instance, have built about fiOO now cars durinc the past year, besides keeping up repair?. That company has now' in use 8,000 freight and upwards of 100 passenger cars, yet are frequently short of rolling stock to meet the demands of Government and the public.'

The yie'd of the most famous mines of California- tha Mariposa, for instance is not mort! than Irom $20 to ?22 per to. Last year the value cl the gold ob tained from Colorado was $?,521-,000, bnd is expected to be double that amount next year.; An orJer has been issued from the Army of the Potomac,' prohibiting all newspaper correspondents connected therewith from publishing or causing to be published the number or designation of regiments re-enlisted in the army, or saving the same; or the number of men furloughed. Another order from Provost Marshal Patrick 'requires a correct en rollment to be made of all civilians or army followers, excepting actual resi dents, within '.lie limits of their respec live cores.

We ventured the opinion when he was in command that ' he was the only man in high position who seem ed to rppretiate tho magnitude of ti e woik before him and proviJo for its every exigency. ' We Una embodied in the report a letter to the President, written after the terrib'e seven days' bat tie near Richmond, and containing sug gtstions which, if tien aioptet", wCuld long since have put an ei.tl to all J rebel lion, nnd raved our fearful expenditure of blood and treasure. Expecting an attack, he 3ays, as a ne ccssity to the enemy, and feeling the ail ical natuin of ill" posi'.ion, Gen. Mc Clellan addressed to the President the 'o'.lowing letter: "IIkaihii-abtkbi ArtMV orint Potomac, V tAHF M.AU lUHIIISON t I.AMIINU.Va , J Momlay, Jnl 7. 1801. ) Ma. President i You have been fully informed ihat the rebel ajmy is in our front, with the purposo of overwhelm ing us by attacking our position or reducing us by blockading our river communications. I cannot but recard our condition as critica1, and I earnestly do siro, in view of possibla contingencies, to lay before your Lxcellenty, for your prt vate consideration, my general views cotiL-erning the existing stats of the re-hellion, although they do not strictly relato to the summon ot the army, or strictly coniii within the seopsof my ('ffi-cial duties. These views amount to convictions, and are deeply impressed upon mind and heart. Uur cause must never be abandoned it is the cause of free institutions and s" If government. 'Ihe constitution and Union must be preserved', whatever may be the cost in timo, treasure or blood. If secession is successful, other dissolutions ore clearly to be seen in the future. Let neither military disaster, political faction i,or for eicn war shake our settled purpose to en force the eq.ual operation of the laws of the United Mates upon the people ol svery State. "The time has come when tha govern ment must determine upon a civil and military policy covering the whole ground of our national trouble. Ihe response bility of determining, declaring and sup porting such civil and military policy and of directing tho wholo course ot na tionsl nfl'uirs in regard to the rebellion must now be assumed and exercised by you or our cause will be Inst. Ihe con stitution gives you power sufficient even for ihe present terrible exigency. "This rebellion has assumed the char acter of war : as suclr it should be regard ed, and it should be conducted upon the lughost principles known to Christian civilisation'. I't should not be a war looking to the subjugation of tbe people of any btate on any event. It should not be at all a war upon population, but against armed lotces and political' organ ization. Neither confiscation of proper ty, political executions of persons, terri torial organizations of Stales, or forcible abolition of slavery should be content plated for a moment. In prosecuting the war all private property nnd unarmed persons should be strictly protected,-sub ject only to the necessary military opera- lions. All privatu property taken for military ue should be paid or receipted for; pillage and waste shou'd be treated as high crimes, all unnecessary trespass sternly prohibited, and otlensive demean or by the military toward citizens prompt ly rebuked. Military arrests should not be tolerated except in places where active hostilities exist, and oaths not required by enactments constitutionally made should be neitherdemainled nor received Military government should bo confined to the preterva'.ion of public order and the protection uf political rights. Military power should not be allowed to in-tefere wiih the relations of servitude, either by supporting or impairing the authority of the mnsler, except for repressing disorder, os'in other cees. Slavei contraband under the act of Congress, seeking military pro'ection, should receive it. The right of the government to appropriate p-rmanently to its own service claims of slave labor should be asserted", and the right of the owner to compensation therefor should be recognized. The principle might le extended upon the grounds of military necessity and security to all the slaves within a particular Stale, thus working manumission in such Slate; and in Missouri, perhaps in Western Vireini), a'so.and pos sibly even in Maryland, the expediency of such a measure is only a question of time. A system of police thus constitution al and conservative, and pervaded by the influences of Christianity and freedom.

Expecting an attack, he 3ays, as a ne ccssity to the enemy, and feeling the ail ical natuin of ill" posi'.ion, Gen.

President i You have been fully informed ihat the rebel ajmy is in our front, with the purposo of overwhelm ing us by attacking our position or reducing us by blockading our river communications. I cannot but recard our condition as critica1, and I earnestly do siro, in view of possibla contingencies, to lay before your Lxcellenty, for your prt vate consideration, my general views cotiL-erning the existing stats of the re-hellion, although they do not strictly relato to the summon ot the army, or strictly coniii within the seopsof my ('ffi-cial duties. These views amount to convictions, and are deeply impressed upon mind and heart. Uur cause must never be abandoned it is the cause of free institutions and s" If government. 'Ihe constitution and Union must be preserved', whatever may be the cost in timo, treasure or blood. If secession is successful, other dissolutions ore clearly to be seen in the future. Let neither military disaster, political faction i,or for eicn war shake our settled purpose to en force the eq.ual operation of the laws of the United Mates upon the people ol svery State. "The time has come when tha govern ment must determine upon a civil and military policy covering the whole ground of our national trouble. Ihe response bility of determining, declaring and sup porting such civil and military policy and of directing tho wholo course ot na tionsl nfl'uirs in regard to the rebellion must now be assumed and exercised by you or our cause will be Inst. Ihe con stitution gives you power sufficient even for ihe present terrible exigency. "This rebellion has assumed the char acter of war : as suclr it should be regard ed, and it should be conducted upon the lughost principles known to Christian civilisation'. I't should not be a war looking to the subjugation of tbe people of any btate on any event. It should not be at all a war upon population, but against armed lotces and political' organ ization. Neither confiscation of proper ty, political executions of persons, terri torial organizations of Stales, or forcible abolition of slavery should be content plated for a moment. In prosecuting the war all private property nnd unarmed persons should be strictly protected,-sub ject only to the necessary military opera- lions. All privatu property taken for military ue should be paid or receipted for; pillage and waste shou'd be treated as high crimes, all unnecessary trespass sternly prohibited, and otlensive demean or by the military toward citizens prompt ly rebuked. Military arrests should not be tolerated except in places where active hostilities exist, and oaths not required by enactments constitutionally made should be neitherdemainled nor received Military government should bo confined to the preterva'.ion of public order and the protection uf political rights. Military power should not be allowed to in-tefere wiih the relations of servitude, either by supporting or impairing the authority of the mnsler, except for repressing disorder, os'in other cees. Slavei contraband under the act of Congress, seeking military pro'ection, should receive it. The right of the government to appropriate p-rmanently to its own service claims of slave labor should be asserted", and the right of the owner to compensation therefor should be recognized. The principle might le extended upon the grounds of military necessity and security to all the slaves within a particular Stale, thus working manumission in such Slate; and in Missouri, perhaps in Western Vireini), a'so.and pos sibly even in Maryland, the expediency of such a measure is only a question of time. A system of police thus constitution al and conservative, and pervaded by the influences of Christianity and freedom.
